Skokie Launches "Community Portal" on Village Website

Skokie Launches "Community Portal" on Village Website

With changes in technology progressing every day, the Village of Skokie continues to look for avenues to improve the ways in which it conducts business, both internally and externally. Most recently, through its membership in the Geographic Information System (GIS) Consortium, Skokie has launched the Community Portal tool on www.skokie.org. Visitors will notice a new box called “My Skokie Property Search” on the homepage below the “Village of Skokie News” column. Users simply need to type in a Skokie address and press “Submit” to experience the Community Portal.

The Community Portal links valuable, everyday information to a specific property address, using the GIS. Users are able to easily explore property tax information, confirm garbage/recycling collection days, locate voting information and learn about local zoning. The Community Portal is truly a one-stop for property information that is easily accessible on the Village website 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Users are encouraged to check back to Skokie’s Community Portal from time to time, as the Village expects to expand the data and information available. Please visit www.skokie.org today to get started on a Community Portal My Skokie Property Search.
